It’s that time of the year again for summer junk parties. And if we're being honest, part of the fun of a junk trip is getting on the cute pool floats and Instagramming it (you know what they say: if there's no proof, did it even happen?) Roll your eyes all you want at this pool float trend but let's face it, we’re never too old for beach toys. Ditch the unoriginal unicorn, swan or flamingo pool float this summer, and impress your friends with these quirky, fun and definitely IG-worthy accessories instead. By Sarah Moran

Talk to the hand

Talk to the hand

Introverts out there will know that queasy feeling you get when you have to socialise with a bunch of new people, and most junk trips are full of friends of friends you don't really know. If you don't feel like mingling with strangers or just need a little break from all the socialising, you’ll have to get your hands on Working Girls’ hand pool float. Bring back that the old saying “talk to the hand ‘cause the face ain’t ” as you float into that summer state of mind all by yourself. $353.
